Nasser Al-Khelaifi, president of French France Ligue 1 team, Paris Saint-Germain says he is “very confident” of completing the sensational capture of Neymar from Barcelona.
Yahoo Sport France reported Al-Khelaifi as telling other PSG executives: “Negotiations for Neymar are going well. I’m very confident.”
The Brazilian has a £197 million buyout clause in his contract with the Catalan giants.
If Neymar’s contract is bought out, something that does not need Barca’s approval, PSG would only need to agree terms with the player to secure his signature, said Bleachers Report.
However, La Liga president Javier Tebas has strong doubts over the Ligue 1 club’s ability to bring him in and remain in line with UEFA’s financial fair play rules.
Tebas said, per Marca: “Even if they don’t pay the release clause [of Neymar] we will report them. They cannot make up some commercial numbers that are bigger than Barcelona or Real Madrid. Nobody believes that, which means that the state of Qatar is injecting money, and that violates financial fair play.”
